While LMT-Watch anonymously brings you their abbreviated view of today's
ruling, LMT Media has been hard at work converting the video of today's
court proceedings so you can watch them in their entirety.

Neither Bob Minton nor Tory Bezazian were convicted today. In fact, Judge
Penick acquitted all but two of the more than forty charges against Bob, the
LMT and the rest of the critics. He fined Tory $100 but did not find her
guilty for walking down Fort Harrison Avenue without holding her picket sign
upside down. He witheld adjudication and fined Bob $500 for engaging in
First Amendment activity outside of an orange zone. Bob is on probation for
six months but was not convicted. Neither Tory nor Bob were convicted of
anything. Moreover, what LMT-Watch has neglected to mention but will be seen
by all who care (or are allowed) to watch is that the judge came down hard
on Scientology's spy cameras, abusive process servers/P.I.s, and the
"embarrasing" testimony of OSA's rebuttal witness.

On top of that, Judge Penick brought in the Clearwater Police's attorney to
let him know that the judge believed there was a great deal of merit to the
claim that Scientology is "using" and "duping" the police they hire. Penick
warned that the CW Police were dangerously close to becoming Scientology's
security force, which is the main thrust of the police video.

Judge Penick made it clear that the police video is not admissable as legal
evidence, but he also made it clear that the other videos -- the ones
without commentary -- that he saw in evidence showed the Clearwater police
being "duped" by Scientology.

Watch Judge Penick's two-hour commentary for the full story on the outcome
of the hearing:

Also added to the page are the comments from the Clearwater Police
Department's attorney, Rob Surette who wished to be heard on the topic of
the Police Video.

I offered once again to allow Rob Surette, spokesperson Wayne Shelor or any
other representative of the Clearwater Police Department a chance to sit
down for an on camera interview concerning the allegations in the Police
video. Again, Rob Surette declined.
